The installed version of Firefox 3.0 is earlier than 3.0.4. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  • Locally saved ‘.url’ shortcut files can be used to read information stored in the local cache. (MFSA 2008-47)

  • ‘file:’ URIs are given chrome privileges when opened in the same tab as a chrome page or privileged ‘about:’ page, which could allow an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2008-51)

  • There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that could lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption. (MFSA 2008-52)

  • The browser’s session restore feature can be used to violate the same-origin policy and run JavaScript in the context of another site. (MFSA 2008-53)

  • There is a buffer overflow that can be triggered by sending a specially crafted 200 header line in the HTTP index response. (MFSA 2008-54)

  • Crashes and remote code execution in nsFrameManager are possible by modifying certain properties of a file input element before it has finished initializing.
    (MFSA 2008-55)

  • The same-origin check in ‘nsXMLHttpRequest::NotifyEventListeners()’ can be bypassed. (MFSA 2008-56)

  • The ‘-moz-binding’ CSS property can be used to bypass security checks which validate codebase principals.
    (MFSA 2008-57)

  • There is an error in the method used to parse the default namespace in an E4X document caused by quote characters in the namespace not being properly escaped.
